Chevron and Exxon Mobil Surge on Iran Tensions
Shares of Chevron and Exxon Mobil are rising in Monday morning trading due to increased tensions between the United States and Iran.
The US strikes on Iran have caused oil prices to surge, with WTI crude oil reaching $86.06 per barrel, a 3% increase over the past 24 hours.
Both Chevron and Exxon Mobil are integrated majors, spanning upstream production and downstream refining and chemicals. While their shares are moving in tandem, their businesses respond differently to a crude spike due to varying segments and scale.
